The wellness clinic will take place from 9 a.m., to 5 p.m. This event is open to the community, and all are welcome to attend. In order to receive a vaccination of any kind, interested participants must register for the wellness clinic through Jewel-Osco, here.

“D228 has hosted vaccination clinics with Jewel-Osco in the past, and is excited to host another this fall,” said Yasmeen Sheikah, D228 Public Relations Specialist. “Not only are all of our students, parents and staff encouraged to attend, but we are also extending the opportunity to our district community members as well.

"We hope this event will offer resources to interested D228 residents, and bring the community together.”

All attendees must fill out the Informed Consent for Immunization with Inactivated & Live Vaccines form. The form must be filled out the day of the wellness clinic, and a printed copy must be handed to staff prior to receiving a vaccine.

All forms of COVID-19 vaccines are free of charge, regardless if a patient is insured or uninsured. Other vaccinations are fully covered for those with PPO insurance plans (HMO not accepted). PPO, Medicaid, and Medicare B will cover the cost of flu vaccines. If insured, patients must bring their insurance cards.

After receiving the vaccination(s) patients will walk out with at-home COVID-19 tests, free of charge, and 10% off Jewel-Osco coupon(s)—one per vaccination.
